Sabbatical program may help US military keep women in the ranks
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – Navy Cmdr. Valerie Overstreet wanted to start a family. But her job as a Navy pilot and the fact that she and her husband, also a naval officer, were stationed in different parts of the country made it complicated.
So she decided to take advantage of a fledgling Navy program that allowed her to take a year off and return to duty without risking her career or future commands.
Now, three years later, she's got a 2-year-old daughter and a 9-month old son, she's back at work at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., and her promotion to captain has been confirmed.
For Overstreet, the year off gave her precious time to have her daughter and get started on her master's degree. The Navy retains an officer it considers promising without requiring her to sacrifice her family life.
Across the military services, leaders are experimenting with programs that will give valued officers and enlisted troops, men and women, the incentive to stay. Also, as the Pentagon moves to bring women into more jobs closer to the combat zone, military officials believe it is crucial to keep midcareer female officers in the services so they can mentor those on the front lines.
"We have innovative things we're trying to retain women in the service," said Vice Adm. Mark Ferguson, vice chief of naval operations. "It's about creating the personnel policies that enable someone to say it's Navy and family, instead of Navy or family."
At Camp Lejeune, the Bergstrom sisters are part of a Marine family tradition.
Identical twins Katherine and Sarah watched their older sister Rachel join the Marine Corps' ROTC at their high school in Cumming, Ga. Rachel, now working as an administrative officer in the Pentagon, was intrigued when she saw ROTC members playing soccer at school, and she decided to join the program.
"She's a very aggressive young lady," said retired Marine Maj. Mac Kelly, who runs the program at North Forsyth High School. "You could take her to a formal dance or to a knife fight and she'd know how to act in both situations."
The twins eventually followed their sister into the ROTC. Both went on to the Naval Academy and then into combat, with Sarah heading to Afghanistan for a one-year tour and Katherine to the Mideast. At one point, Sarah and Rachel were deployed at the same time to Camp Leatherneck in Helmand province.
Standing in the early morning sun outside the headquarters for II Marine Expeditionary Force, Sarah and Katherine recently acknowledged that as women in the Marine Corps, they stand out a bit, and the scrutiny can be more intense.
"You do have to be more aware that you have a little bit higher visibility, so be more within standards, and ensure that you are being strict with regulations as every Marine should," said Katherine, who deployed to the Middle East on the USS Iwo Jima with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. "There is a bit more pressure on females, women in general, because we do have family issues. We're just more prone to that."
That's why, she said, there aren't as many women in the higher ranks. In fact, she was facing that very dilemma: family or the Marine Corps.
In October, Katherine left the service and moved from Camp Lejeune to California to be with her fiance. It was a difficult decision, but in the end, she said, she chose stability.
"For women to have a family and a career, it's just extremely difficult. And, being in the military, it is extra sacrifice, you have deployments, you have workups, and it just makes it that much more challenging," she said. "The Marine Corps is a lifestyle, it's not a job. You dress it, you eat it, you breathe it, you live it. For me, I want to focus on getting married."
So far, Sarah has chosen to stay in. "I love being a Marine, I love the people I work with," she said. But not long ago, Rachel said she also is weighing similar issues.
It's not an uncommon dilemma. More often than men in the military, women choose their family over service.
The sabbatical program is one way of encouraging women to stay, said Ferguson, and Army leaders agree.
Lt. Gen. Howard B. Bromberg, the Army's deputy chief of staff, said the program is under review and has not yet been approved by the Army secretary. A decision is expected early in the year, and if approved, the program would start out small.
It will give men and women "an intermission period to meet their personal needs," said Bromberg. He said a woman who decides to have a family would be able to stay home with the child or someone else might need time to take care of an ailing parent.
"We want to explore it, and see if we can help out those who need help and may be of the type of person who wants to come back and serve," he said. "It will be open to everybody, but certainly, the example of a female soldier or couple that have a child and want to have time at home — that's the goal as well."
That plan worked for Overstreet, even though she was skeptical at first.
"I thought, why in the world would I leave for a year? It didn't make sense to me. But, when I sat down and thought about it, it was such an opportunity to be able to concentrate on my health and be at home. It was a blessing."
Three months into the sabbatical she got pregnant, and her daughter was 3-months-old when she went back to work at the academy.
"I think it's a fantastic program for people who are on the bubble ... People who are wondering if they can do both," she said. "If they want to concentrate on family or just want to concentrate on going to school — they don't have to make that choice. They can actually take the year to three years off and concentrate on that and know that their job is there and you can come back in right where you left off. And you're not at risk of losing the career that you have worked so hard at."

I'm exceptionally ordinary.
I realized this while struggling with my author bio.
Honestly, I already knew but it's really in your face when you're trying to create anything that requires you to write in third person the answer to an unanswerable question: Who am I?
I'm me. Just me.
I'm not being self-deprecating but I am wondering…
Why does everyone need to be special?
Everyone is unique. Not the same thing.
Let's face it. We want our bios to be memorable. That's the point, isn't it?
I went through this last year while trying to write a social media profile and "About Me" page for my blog. I had a major WIC (Writer's Identity Crisis) and deleted myself.
But this. It's so…final. An author bio, many experts say, can make or break you. Break me? Eek. They're right! I can't just cut and paste and fix it. It's there. In writing. Forever.
Eh. Okay. So it is.
No matter how many times I rewrite it, I'll most likely look at it in a few months and wonder what the hell I was thinking. So I'm going to accept that and let it go. And while I'm at it, accept who I am on paper.
A unique yet ordinary woman.
My Sunday thoughts in 200 words or less.
Do you have difficulty writing your bios? Do you change them often or write them and leave them alone? Do you try to present yourself as 'special' in some way? Do you even remember what your bio says anymore?

Chèvre or goat cheese is white colored and somewhat tart in flavor. The West has popularized cow's milk whereas in the rest of the world goat's milk is preferred. As a rule, because it is usually manufactured in areas with little refrigeration, it is preserved with salt. As a result, most people believe that goat cheese is naturally far saltier than cow cheese. Perhaps the best known goat cheese in the US is Feta, which is qite salty as a result of being brined, having tasted the latest offerings from Les Petites Fermières, I can assure you that goat cheese also comes with more subtle flavors. The higher proportion of fatty acids such as capric acid present in goat's milk, gives it that characteristic tartness.
I tasted all three of their available flavors: Goat Cheese Medallions with Fine Herbs and Garlic, Goat Medallions with Cranberry and Maple Syrup, Goat Cheese Medallions. My favorite was the last one, though I thoroughly enjoyed the other two as well.
I came up with the following easy recipe to go with these type of cheese:
Herb and Garlic Goat Cheese and Onion Dip
- 2 packages Les Petites Fermières Goat Cheese Medallions with Fine Herbs and Garlic
- ⅔ cup low fat sour cream
- 3 onions, chopped
- Place all ingredients in a blender.
- Pulse 1–2 minutes until well combined but not completely pureed.
- Refrigerate several hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Makes about 1¼ cups.
I also crumbled some of these cheeses into a salad and enjoyed it with a Baron Herzog Sauvignon Blanc 2008. When CS had the cholov Yisroel Chèvre from N&K, he paired them with a Chilean Alfasi Malbec-Syrah 2009, a perfect and inexpensive choice for someone who grew up on the Northern shore of the Rio de La Plata (River Plate, for us gringos).

Boilers win four regional titles
The Kewanee wrestling team crowned four champions at the Class 1A Eureka Regional Saturday.
Earning regional gold for the Boilers were Bo Walters at 126, Mark Breedlove at 132, Omar Delgado at 145 and Jack Breedlove at 170.
Also earning sectional berths were Kewanee's Andrew Slusser at 152 and Anthony Barnhill at 182, and Wethersfield's Carter Pillen at 120.
Kewanee's four individual titles were the most by a school in the eight-team regional, and the Boilers finished fourth in the team standings. Eureka earned the regional crown and team sectional berth with 190 points, followed by Illini Bluffs 152.5, Monmouth-Roseville 139.5 and Kewanee 128.
Walters started Kewanee's championship roll by defeating Jake Wiegand in the 126-pound championship match 6-4 in overtime.
Mark Breedlove's path to the 132-pound title included a pair of pins — Andy Shannon of Eureka at the 1:34 mark in the semifinals and Zach O'Connor of Illini Bluffs in the championship match at 3:19.
Delgado needed three wins to take 145-pound gold. He defeated Corey Zelkovich of Midland by pin at 2:57 in the opening round, Kaleb Carlson of Monmouth-Roseville by pin at 2:56 in the semfinals and won a 4-0 decision over Dakota Hospelhorn of Eureka in the title match.
Jack Breedlove stuck both his opponents at 170 to win regional gold. He needed just 49 seconds to pin Dalton Holeman of Monmouth-Roseville in the semifinals and then pinned D.J. Ackman of Knoxville at the 4:47 mark of their title bout.
Barnhill and Pillen earned their sectional berths with second-place finishes.
Barnhill advanced to the 182-pound finals with two first-period pins, then lost on a first-period pin to Logan Millizer of Monmouth-Roseville in the title match.
Pillen won a 12-2 major decision over Andrew Fehr of Eureka in the semifinals, then was pinned in the second period of the title match with Luke Roach of Illini Bluffs.
Slusser defeated Austin Smith of Illini Bluffs by pin at the 3:24 mark of the third-place match to earn his sectional berth.
Slusser dropped his opening-round match, but bounced back with pins of Thomas Berry of Knoxville and IB's Smith to advance.
The unofficial opening-round matchups for the Stanford Olympia Sectional Friday and Saturday — according the Illinois Matmen website — find Pillen (7-4) vs. John Donovan of Deer Creek-Mackinaw (28-9) at 120; Walters (28-9) vs. the Dustin Huss (14-7) of Illini West and David Trewyn of St. Joseph-Ogden winner in the quarterfinals at 126; Mark Breedlove (36-2) vs. the Iley Markam (19-11) of Olympia and Dakota Huss (22-6) winner in the quarterfinals at 132; Delgado (24-8) vs. the Clayton Thurman (24-21) of Beardstown and Gabe McKinley (29-11) of El Paso winner in the quarterfinals at 145; Slusser (12-22) vs. Hunter Santamour (26-6) of El Paso at 152; Jack Breedlove (24-11) vs. the Tyler Arnold (20-9) of Macomb and Brandon Bodine (24-13) of LeRoy winner in the quarterfinals at 170; and Barnhill (16-22) vs. Jake Shubert (26-15) of Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley-Fisher at 182.

MTV renovates House of Style, looks behind scenes
NEW YORK (AP) — The "House of Style" that MTV built back in 1989 has undergone some serious renovation, but it always had good bones.
The show's past and present come together in a documentary, "House of Style: Music, Models, and MTV," that premieres Saturday (10 p.m. EST).
Originally launched with supermodel Cindy Crawford, "House of Style" made the logical links between music and fashion at a time when some of the biggest style trends were coming from the videos that were the bread and butter of MTV: Madonna's many looks, including Jean Paul Gaultier's 1990 cone bra; Run-DMC's Adidas sneakers; and Michael Jackson's many leather jackets.
Crawford interviewed designers Gaultier and Todd Oldham, runway buddies Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista, and video staples Duran Duran and Will Smith, back when Smith was The Fresh Prince.
"It was the right show at the right time," says Crawford. "People saw designs from fashion before, but this helped introduce the people behind fashion in a way that hadn't been done before."
She isn't claiming credit, but Crawford also notes that fashion didn't have the broad pop-culture appeal two decades ago that it has now. That access is fueled by all the behind-the-scenes interviews and instant runway replays available on your cellphone, she says. "House of Style" was important in whetting that appetite, she says.
The show grew up through the 1990s, adding new hosts Daisy Fuentes, Molly Sims and Rebecca Romijn, and ending its initial run in 2000.
But with fashion risk-takers such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Katy Perry again dominating the style-setter conversation, it was time for "House of Style" to make a comeback.
Now, the mini-episodes hosted by top models Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls stream online. But the feeling of exclusivity and excitement remains.
"We could have done this reboot three or four years ago, but I don't think it was the right time. We're in a time now that there is again the interest in models, in music and there are so many visual platforms," says Dave Sirulnick, MTV's executive vice president of news and production. He was also behind the original show.
Viewers might come to the new "House of Style" as more educated fashion fans, he says. Still, an insider as a curator is unique.
"You don't know when cool things might happen or pop up, and 'House of Style' follows that," says Smalls. "It's always exciting. I got into this business because it is more challenging and more creative and more expressive. I didn't want a 9-to-5 job. I don't know where I'll be flying to tomorrow, but the show might take you there."
They've covered interviews with Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang, gone backstage at Victoria's Secret and revisited Gaultier.
Don't expect nostalgia, though. "We're not aimed at the same people now as we were. The 22-year-olds of 20 years ago isn't who we're targeting, we want the 22-year-olds of today," says Sirulnick.
He adds, "I hope the 42-year-old might still watch, and I hope they're interested, but we have to move forward."
On Smalls' wish list to cover in upcoming episodes are a trip to her native Puerto Rico "which I think is an emerging fashion scene," a segment on Japanese street style, a personal survey of Carine Roitfeld's closet and a sit-down with Rihanna.
Crawford says she doesn't go back and watch old episodes often, but occasionally her kids will make her watch one on YouTube.
"I was not hip back then. I was musically illiterate — and it was MTV! ... I thought Def Leppard was a person. That played on TV in a fun way."

50 best holiday movies of all time
What is the greatest holiday movie of all time?
We asked our readers that very question, and they responded by helping us select the top 50 films for the season (though, due to multiple ties, there are actually 52 movies on this list).
So, which movie ran off with the honor of being crowned No. 1? Click through to find out and tell us which movies you'll be watching this season and why!
50. (tie) "Four Christmases'' (2008) / "Meet John Doe'' (1941) / "Mixed Nuts'' (1994)
These three films in our final slot took the total over 50 movies, but with good cause. Vince Vaughn (left) and his better half (Reese Witherspoon, not pictured) are both the product of divorces and need to visit four separate parents on Christmas Day. In "John Doe,'' a reporter creates an idealist who promises to commit suicide on Christmas Eve due to a corrupt society. Finally, speaking of suicide, Steve Martin (right) takes on Christmas at a crisis hotline in "Mixed Nuts.''
49. "Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights'' (2002)
First, "Saturday Night Live'' veteran Adam Sandler decried the lack of Hanukkah songs for Jewish children to sing and issued "The Chanukah Song.'' Using a line from that tune, he then provided an animated movie for them to watch, too, in a woefully under-represented genre.
48. (tie) "A Rugrats Chanukah'' (1996)/ "The Hebrew Hammer'' (2003)
Two wildly different Hanukkah movies tied for 48th on our readers' list. The "Rugrats'' gang occupies the roles of all the characters in the story of the Jewish holiday. In the comedy "The Hebrew Hammer,'' Adam Goldberg (right) is on a mission to rescue the holiday after Santa Claus's son (played by Andy Dick) takes control of it.
47. "Scrooge'' (1970)
Albert Finney earned a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol.'' The greedy old man learns the cost of that avarice and the value of charity during the holiday season.
41. (tie) "Babes in Toyland'' (1961) / "Die Hard 2'' (1990) / "Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas'' (1977) / "The Holiday'' (2006) / "A Midnight Clear'' (1992) / "Prancer'' (1989)
This six-way tie brings together a very diverse crop of movies, from "Babes,'' which has been done as a TV special with a young Drew Barrymore, and two film versions in 1934 and 1961, to the sequel to the Christmas Eve thriller "Die Hard,'' to a Muppet TV special about otters who seek to win a contest for Christmas. Also, Cameron Diaz swaps homes in "The Holiday,'' Gary Sinise and his fellow World War II fighters spend Christmas together in "A Midnight Clear,'' and Santa's forgotten reindeer gets his due in "Prancer.''
40. "The Preacher's Wife'' (1996)
This adaptation of the 1947 classic "The Bishop's Wife'' finds Denzel Washington as Dudley, an angel who comes to guide a devoted preacher whose dedication to his work has put a strain on his marriage to his wife, Julia (Whitney Houston, left).
38. (tie) "Gremlins'' (1984) / "The Ref'' (1994)
A Christmas present unleashes evil creatures in the classic horror comedy "Gremlins.'' Speaking of comedy, local jokester Denis Leary (left) takes on a role as a burglar who takes a couple hostage on Christmas Eve, but ends up presiding over their domestic disputes.
37. "One Magic Christmas'' (1985)
In this Disney tale, a woman (Mary Steenburgen, right) needs help rediscovering her belief in Christmas and the "magic'' of the season. Luckily, Santa can show her a thing or two.
36. "Jingle All the Way'' (1996)
Then-action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger goes soft in this story about a father who becomes embroiled in a battle over a sold-out toy that his son desires.
35. "Santa Claus'' (1985)
How did Santa become, well, Santa? Director Jeannot Szwarc set out to show how he acquired his unique skills that make Christmas possible.
34. "Little Women'' (1994)
This adaptation of the 1868 Louisa May Alcott novel has been done twice, in 1949 and 1994. But the more recent version features a cast with clout: (from left) Winona Ryder, Trini Alvarado, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon, and Claire Danes, as well as Gabriel Byrne and Christian Bale (not pictured). Several of the movies twists center around the Christmas season, including the dramatic homecoming of the girls' father from the Civil War.
33. "Bridget Jones's Diary'' (2001)
Renée Zellweger plays the title character who makes several New Year's resolutions which she records in her diary. Along the way, she meets a love interest in a hideous holiday sweater at a Christmas party.
32. "The Family Man'' (2000)
A greedy Wall Street trader (Nicolas Cage, left) gets a taste of family life on Christmas morning — minivans and all — and begins to realize money may not be the key to happiness.
29. (tie) "Meet Me In St. Louis'' (1944) / "The Family Stone'' (2004)
There isn't much to tie together these two films made 60 years apart from each other. Judy Garland (center) sings her way through "St. Louis'' as her family gets the news of a move to New York on Christmas Eve. In "The Family Stone,'' Sarah Jessica Parker (right) plays a conservative woman meeting her boyfriend's wildly different family for the first time during the holidays.
28. "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York'' (1992)
How does a kid get separated from his family not once, but twice? And both times hectic holiday travel (and inattentive parenting) was to blame. Either way, Macaulay Culkin reprises his role as Kevin McCallister except, instead of protecting his house, he was unleashed on the winter wonderland of New York City during Christmastime. Of course, the same bandits are pursuing him.
27. "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol'' (1962)
Poor old Magoo. He is crotchety — yet lovable — as ever in his take on Ebenezer Scrooge in this TV special. Of the 52 movies on this list, at least five are adaptations of Charles Dickens's Christmas classic.
26. "The Nightmare Before Christmas'' (2003)
Director Tim Burton brings his twisted take on the holiday season to this animated film about Jack Skellington — who presides over Halloweentown — wandering into the foreign Christmas town.
24. (tie) "Christmas in Connecticut'' (1945) / "Frosty the Snowman'' (1969)
Barbara Stanwyck plays an unmarried journalist who lies about her home life. When her boss asks to come over for Christmas, she and Dennis Morgan play pretend for the holiday in the 1945 classic. Almost two decades later, the popular holiday song "Frosty the Snowman'' got its own animated feature on TV, as the chilly hero with a warm heart tries to hang onto his magic hat.
23. "The Bishop's Wife'' (1947)
A bishop hoping for a new cathedral prays for help, and gets guidance unexpected guidance in the form of Dudley (Cary Grant), an angel. Dudley sets out to prove that the bishop's mission has redirected his focus from his family.
22. "When Harry Met Sally'' (1989)
Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal play platonic friends who slowly start to fall for each other in this classic movie. Not a holiday movie? Try this quote from Crystal's character: "It's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.''
21. "Planes, Trains and Automobiles'' (1987)
OK, so it's more of a Thanksgiving movie than a Christmas film. But it's about holiday travel, and that counts too, right? John Candy (left) and Steve Martin play two mismatched travelers just trying to get to Chicago, and driving each other nuts en route.
20. "The Santa Clause'' (1994)
The clever turn of phrase in the title is as follows: the "clause'' is if Santa dies and you discover his body, you have to suit up and become the next Santa. Such is the fate that befalls inattentive father Scott Calvin (Tim Allen, left) as he undergoes the transformation.
19. "The Year Without a Santa Claus'' (2006)
This TV special has actually been made twice, 2006 and 1974. In the more recent version, John Goodman fills Santa's sleigh and plans to give it a rest. But a little boy helps him recapture the Christmas spirit.
18. "Bad Santa'' (2003)
The title says it all. Billy Bob Thornton is perhaps the naughtiest Kris Kringle ever portrayed on screen — a drunken robber set on looting a department store.
17. "Die Hard'' (1988)
Bruce Willis plays a New York City detective who just wants to enjoy a Christmas party with his family. Of course, a few terrorists throw a wrench in the plan. Will he save the hostages — and Christmas?
15. (tie) "Holiday Inn'' (1942) / "Scrooged'' (1988)
These two wildly different films tied for 15th place on our readers' list. In "Holiday Inn,'' Bing Crosby (far left), Fred Astaire (not pictured), and Marjorie Reynolds sing and dance their way through the holiday season as the men compete for the lady's attention. Did someone say dance off? In the innovative "Scrooged,'' Bill Murray (right) is selfish TV executive Frank Cross, but may as well be named Ebenezer.
14. "The Polar Express'' (2004)
Tom Hanks brought the well-loved children's book by Chris Van Allsburg to the big screen. The magic of the Christmas season is discovered as a train ushers children to the North Pole to see Santa and, for some strange reason, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.
13. "The Muppet Christmas Carol'' (1992)
Michael Caine (right) appears as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside Kermit and the gang as the Muppets take on Charles Dickens's tale.
12. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' (1964)
Everyone knows the song, or at least part of it. But this 1964 TV special is almost as ubiquitous. The film brings the lyrics to life as Rudolph turns an apparent affliction (his red nose) into an indispensable tool (the headlights to guide Santa's sleigh).
11. "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas'' (2000)
Who else but Jim Carrey (right) could play the Grinch from Dr. Seuss's beloved children's story? Of course, there is also a classic 1966 cartoon TV special with Boris Karloff as the Grinch. So, clearly Mr. Grinch always gets the star treatment as he sets his sights on destroying Christmas for the neighboring village.
9. (tie) "A Christmas Carol''(1951) / "Miracle on 34th Street'' (1947)
This pair of holiday classics — an adaptation of Charles Dickens's famous story starring Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge (left) and the heartwarmer about a young girl's (Natalie Wood, right) legal defense of Santa Claus. Both films have been reproduced in various forms, but these versions are widely considered the definitive representations.
8. "Home Alone'' (1990)
Didn't every kid dream of having the house all to himself? After 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is accidentally left at home when his family goes on a Christmas vacation, he finds it exhilarating at first, but lonely as the holiday approaches. Of course, along the way he has to protect his house and foil the plot of robbers Harry (Joe Pesci, right) and Marv.
7. "White Christmas'' (1954)
Bing Crosby (left), a veteran of likeminded holiday musical "Holiday Inn,'' returned for another Irving Berlin production with (from left) Vera-Ellen, singer Rosemary Clooney, and Danny Kaye. After two same-sex dance couples travel to a lodge for a Christmas show, they consider switching partners.
6. "A Charlie Brown Christmas'' (1965)
Perhaps the most renowned holiday TV special ever, the Peanuts gang inspired many imitations. But there's only one Charlie Brown (left), and in this animated feature, he goes in search of true Christmas spirit after decrying the material greed that often overshadows the holidays.
5. "Love Actually'' (2003)
Love — specifically love during Christmas time — is under the microscope in this star-studded film by Richard Curtis. Eight couples, including the prime minister (Hugh Grant) and the aide he longs for (Martine McCutcheon), fall in and out of love over the holiday season. Why during Christmas? Because, as one character puts it, "at Christmas you tell the truth.''
4. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'' (1989)
What father hasn't felt like Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) from time to time? As the bumbling partriarch, Clark tries to get in a festive mood only to have his plans continually go awry, whether it's the delay of a Christmas bonus or the excessively rude intrusion on his family's Christmas by relatives.
3. "Elf'' (2003)
A "new classic''? Will Ferrell (left) channels his inner child (not exactly method acting for him) as Buddy, a human raised as an elf in Santa's workshop. Once he ventures out into the cruel grind of daily life, his boundless joy may be the perfect antidote to a lagging interest in Christmas for Jovie (Zooey Deschanel, right) and her fellow New Yorkers.
2. "A Christmas Story'' (1983)
"You'll shoot your eye out!'' Those words haunt Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) — and probably many of us — as he pleads and cries for a particular Christmas gift: a Red Ryder BB gun. Along the way, he issues his request to a nasty Santa (Jeff Gillen), only to be dismissed the same way.
1. "It's a Wonderful Life'' (1946)
No surprises here. Frank Capra's classic, starring Thomas Mitchell (left) and Jimmy Stewart (third from left), is a true holiday heartwarmer about a despondent, suicidal man (Stewart) whose zest for life is rekindled after being shown what life would have been like without him.

Comparative Review: Schweppes Tonic VS Q Tonic
Posted by Arctic Wolf on January 15, 2012
I was visiting one of my favourite Liquor Stores this past August, (Lacombe Park Spirits in St. Albert if you want to know), when Karim, who is one of the owners, asked me to try a Gin and Tonic with a new Tonic Water he had started to carry called Q Tonic. Up to this point, pickings were mighty slim in my neck of the woods for Tonic Water and Schweppes Tonic was pretty much the standard choice amongst my friends and I.
So I let him make me a small sample cocktail, and I have to say, it was pretty good. In fact, I was intrigued enough to make contact with Jordan Silbert, the founder of Q Drinks and asked him if he would like to send me a sample and some information, especially as I had recently began to receive a few gin samples for review. My thought was that it would be fun to make some side by side cocktails with Q Tonic and Schweppes Tonic to see if I preferred one over the other consistently.
Jordan agreed, and I received a few small bottles of Q Tonic in the mail shortly before Christmas. This was good because the gin samples were beginning to pile up, and I wanted to get at them.
So with four different gins in my review queue, Beefeater 24, Citadelle Reserve, Port of Barcelona and Broker's Gin, I set out over the next couple of weeks to test the Gin and Tonic Cocktail with both Q Tonic and Schweppes Tonic Water.
You may read the results of this exercise by following the provided link:

Fourth of July festivities already under way in Bristol
The Fourth of July festivities start early in Bristol, R.I., where many a Bay Stater can be found amid the 100,000-plus in attendance for the annual parade.
But even before the parade next Friday, July 4, the fun is already underway with a series of free nightly outdoor concerts, said Ray Lavey, general chairman of Bristol's Fourth of July committee.
Held every night now through July 3 at Independence Park overlooking Bristol Harbor, the concerts offer something for just about every musical taste, said Lavey.
On Thursday, June 26, the award-wining Adam Ezra Group is headlining a double-bill that starts out at 6:30 with Transatlantic Campaign, performing blues and southern rock. The Boston-based Adam Ezra Group was named "Band of the Year" in 2013 by the New England Music Awards following on the heels of the band's album, "Ragtop Angel" being named Album of the Year and the single "Takin' Off" won Song of the Year at the New England Music Awards in 2012.
The group is one of a few new acts to the yearly concert series, said Lavey. Tuesday, July 1 offers another new headliner to the concerts series, Songs in the Attic, a tribute to the music of Billy Joel. The following night, Wednesday, ABsalute Gold, an Abba tribute band from Canada, is another new headliner that Lavey expects will draw a good crowd.
Friday night's concert lineup offers another crowd favorite the 88th Army Band performing a wide range of songs from patriotic numbers to rock hits, said Lavey.
Fall River-based Our Lady of Light Band will be performing patriotic music and pops music on Saturday at 6:30 followed up by the oldies group Kings Row. The Our Lady of Light Band is also marching in the parade on July 4.
The beach party comes to Bristol on Sunday night, with the Changes in Latitudes Jimmy Buffet tribute band. The classic rock group Detroit Breakdown performs on July 3 at 7:45 leading up to the fireworks display over Bristol Harbor slated for about 9:30 p.m.
Planning for this year's festivities starts the day after the parade a year earlier, and this year there's plenty to enjoy for children and adults at the annual parade from colorful character floats to marching bands, said Lavey.
Nineteen marching units are slated for the parade including six drum corps, two of which are senior drum corps — the Connecticut Hurricanes and the Sunrises from New York; and marching bands from as far away as Oregon, Minnesota, and Texas. A new addition to the parade this year is a marching drill team.
Each parade is allowed to book only one U.S. military band, said Lavey, and for the past few years it has been the popular Northeast Navy Marching Band under the direction of Bristol resident Lt. Commander Carl Gerhardt.
The Rhode Island National Guard marching band will taking part in the parade along Shriners, politicians, fire trucks and cartoon characters for a total of 3,000 parade participants, said Lavey.
Miss Fourth of July, Carla Braga will be riding a float and the parade marshal this year is David Barboza, who was selected for his civic activities throughout the years, said Lavey.
The parade steps off at the intersection of Chestnut and Hope streets just north of Colt State Park at 10:30 a.m. on July 4.
The town closes off the parade area of Hope street starting at 7:30 a.m., and Lavey suggest getting there by around 8 for a good viewing spot in the front row along the parade route, which winds around down High Street. If the weather is pleasant, Lavey said they expect about 125,000 attendees at this year's event.

bio *bp);
struct bio *
bio *bp);
bio *bp);
bio *bp);
bio *bp);
DESCRIPTION¶A struct bio is used by GEOM to describe I/O requests, its most important fields are described below:
- bio_cmd
- I/O request command. There are four I/O requests available in GEOM:
- A read request.
- A write request.
- Indicates that a certain range of data is no longer used and that it can be erased or freed as the underlying technology supports. Technologies like flash adaptation layers can arrange to erase the relevant blocks before they will become reassigned and cryptographic devices may want to fill random bits into the range to reduce the amount of data available for attack.
- Inspect and manipulate out-of-band attributes on a particular provider or path. Attributes are named by ascii strings and are stored in the bio_attribute field.
- Tells underlying providers to flush their write caches.
- bio_flags
- Available flags:
- bio_cflags
- Private use by the consumer.
- bio_pflags
- Private use by the provider.
- bio_offset
- Offset into provider.
- bio_data
- Pointer to data buffer.
- bio_error
- Error value when
BIO_ERRORis set.
- bio_done
- Pointer to function which will be called when the request is finished.
- bio_driver1
- Private use by the provider.
- bio_driver2
- Private use by the provider.
- bio_caller1
- Private use by the consumer.
- bio_caller2
- Private use by the consumer.
- bio_attribute
- Attribute string for
- bio_from
- Consumer to use for request (attached to provider stored in bio_to field) (typically read-only for a class).
- bio_to
- Destination provider (typically read-only for a class).
- bio_length
- Request length in bytes.
- bio_completed
- Number of bytes completed, but they may not be completed from the front of the request.
- bio_children
- Number of bio clones (typically read-only for a class).
- bio_inbed
- Number of finished bio clones.
- bio_parent
- Pointer to parent bio.
g_new_bio() function allocates a new,
empty bio structure.
g_alloc_bio() - same as
g_new_bio(), but always succeeds (allocates bio with
M_WAITOK malloc flag).
g_clone_bio() function allocates a new
bio structure and copies the following fields from the
bio given as an argument to clone:
bio_cmd, bio_length,
bio_offset, bio_data,
bio_attribute. The field
bio_parent in the clone points to the passed
bio and the field bio_children
in the passed bio is incremented.
This function should be used for every request which enters through the provider of a particular geom and needs to be scheduled down. Proper order is:
- Clone the received struct bio.
- Modify the clone.
- Schedule the clone on its own consumer.
g_duplicate_bio() - same as
g_clone_bio(), but always succeeds (allocates bio
with the
M_WAITOK malloc flag).
g_destroy_bio() function deallocates
and destroys the given bio structure.
g_print_bio() function prints
information about the given bio structure (for
debugging purposes).
g_reset_bio() function resets the
given bio structure back to its initial state.
g_reset_bio() preserves internal data structures,
while setting all user visible fields to their initial values. When reusing
a bio obtained from
g_clone_bio(), or
g_duplicate_bio() for multiple transactions,
g_reset_bio() must be called between the
transactions in lieu of
bzero(). While not strictly
required for a bio structure created by other means,
g_reset_bio() should be used to initialize it and
between transactions.
RETURN VALUES¶The
g_new_bio() and
g_clone_bio() functions return a pointer to the
allocated bio, or
NULL if an
error occurred.
EXAMPLES¶Implementation of "
meaning that an I/O request is cloned and scheduled down without any
modifications. Let us assume that field ex_consumer in
structure example_softc contains a consumer attached to
the provider we want to operate on.
void example_start(struct bio *bp) { struct example_softc *sc; struct bio *cbp; printf("Request received: "); g_print_bio(bp); printf("\n"); sc = bp->bio_to->geom->softc; if (sc == NULL) { g_io_deliver(bp, ENXIO); return; } /* Let's clone our bio request. */ cbp = g_clone_bio(bp); if (cbp == NULL) { g_io_deliver(bp, ENOMEM); return; } cbp->bio_done = g_std_done; /* Standard 'done' function. */ /* Ok, schedule it down. */ /* * The consumer can be obtained from * LIST_FIRST(&bp->bio_to->geom->consumer) as well, * if there is only one in our geom. */ g_io_request(cbp, sc->ex_consumer); }

The residential energy credit returnsPublished:
But not every new window, door, boiler, furnace, heater or roofing improvement will qualify.
NEW YORK (MainStreet) — One of the expired tax breaks extended by the recently passed American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 is the cumulative "Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit" for qualified energy efficiency improvements or residential energy property costs for your primary principal residence.
The credit, claimed on IRS Form 5695, is 10 percent of the qualified cost, up to a maximum of $500. This is a "lifetime" limit. If you claimed at least $500 in energy credits from 2006 through 2011 you are not eligible for the credit for 2012.
The credit can be claimed on:
- Biomass stoves
- Heating, ventilating and air conditioning (advanced main air circulating fan, air source heat pumps, central air conditioning, gas, propane or oil hot water boiler and natural gas, propane or oil furnace)
- Water heaters (gas, propane or oil water heater and electric heat pump water heater)
- Insulation
- Roofing (metal and asphalt)
- Windows and doors
Installation costs are also eligible for the credit on the first three of the above items. Some items have individual limitations of from $50 to $300.
There are very specific "energy efficiency" requirements for each of the items. Not every new window, door, boiler, furnace, heater or roofing improvement will qualify. You can go to the Energy Star website to find out what the specific qualifications are for the individual items.
This credit was extended through Dec. 31 so it will also be available on qualified purchases and improvements made in 2013.

|Coach Madison Leather Chevron Audrey Bag from a couple years back.
You'll need:
1. Faux leather (you won't get the metallic sheen with your paint pen if you use normal fabric)
2. sewing machine
3. Krylon gold leafing pen
4. Pencil
5. A good eraser
6. Straight edge with measurements
First thing first, cut out your fabric and very lightly with your pencil, draw this grid onto the right side of your leather:
|Though not shown here, my pillow is 18"x 18". So, I drew 6 rows and columns of 3inch squares. It ended up being larger than I really wanted.
Now just draw a line from one corner to the next in each square, like in the image below:
|There are several of these chevron tutorials using grids. I'm not sure who is the originator, but I made this one so I'm using it.
Then fill in each half square with your Krylon gold leafing pen. Some areas will be streaky. Just let it dry and pass over it again.
Now it's time to make the pillow.
To sew a very easy envelope style pillow that is frequently dubbed the 10 minute pillow, you can follow one of these 3 tutorials:
This was my first envelope pillow and it is so very easy!
And voile! You have your own metallic chevron pillow on the cheap!
|I really wish I made the print thinner, it ended up too big for my taste.
That's just one of many designs I have in my mind to put on these pillows. Here is one of the next:

PREP SPORTS ROUND UP: Ionia takes ninth at Lakeview Invitational
With many members of the Ionia wrestling team out due to illness and injury, coaches Bill Rogers and Tom Brighton only sent three athletes to the Lakeview Invitational on Saturday.
Despite a small roster, all three Bulldog wrestlers placed to earn ninth out of 11 teams.
Jordan Richardson went 2-1 with a pinfall loss in the finals to take second at 103 pounds, while Jordan Zamarron finished second at 135, losing 9-8 on an ultimate tiebreaker to finish 2-1 on the day.
Phillip Sipperley earned two pinfall wins as he went 2-2 at 160 pounds to finish fourth.
On Friday, the coaches sent many of their younger wrestlers to a JV invitational at Lakeview High School.
Ionia had six athletes place on Friday.
Steven Pettit (125), Hunter Meyers (145) and Eric Spohr (189) all earned third-place finishes, while Denny Schmidt (145), Zach Wolfington (171) and Jose Esquival earned fourth in their respective weight classes.
"The Kids all wrestled hard," Brighton said. "It was good for our younger guys to wrestle against competition they should be."
The Belding wrestling team also competed in the varsity tournament on Saturday, taking second behind Mason County Central.
Jesse Scheidel (125), Neal McCully (189) and Todd Haller (215) all earned first-place finishes for the Redskins. Haller's victory in the finals was the 100th of his career.
Michael Walker finished second at 145 pounds, while Nate Cooley (119), Devin Bailey (130), Dakota Foster (140) and Blake Rodarmer (160) all earned third-place finishes.
"Saturday was a solid day for us," Belding coach Travis Meyer said. "We took 12 wrestlers to the tournament, eight were seeded and those guys all placed.
"We wrestled aggressively. I was happy to see the guys go after wins. That made it a fun day."
Ionia will travel to St. Johns on Wednesday to take on the Redwings and Eaton Rapids in a Capital Area Activities Conference triangular match.
Belding will return to Ottawa-Kent Blue competition on Wednesday when the Redskins travel to Sparta to take on the Spartans in a dual match.

Havana Club Barrel Proof
Review: Havana Club Cuban Barrel Proof Rum 95/100
A review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on December 13, 2009
Havana Club is a Cuban Rum produced by Havana Club International (a joint venture between the Cuban Government and Pernod Ricard) currently produced in two Cuban locations, San José de Las Lajas and Santa Cruz del Norte, Cuba. According to tradition the production of the rum which was to become Havana Club began in 1878 when Spanish immigrant José Arechabala established Destileria La Vizcaya in the port city of Cárdenas, Cuba. The distillery remained in the hands of the Arechabala family and in 1934 José's grandson (also named José Arechabala) apparently created the recipe for Havana Club Rum and began to market it throughout the world. However, the family lost control of the distillery and the brand when after the Cuban Revolution of 1959, the Cuban Government nationalized the distillery and company.
This Havana Club rum underwent a rather unique maturation process where it is first aged in old white oak barrels, and when the final rum is blended, it is then finished in specially 'selected' younger finishing casks. I have heard of this 'Double Barrel' approach with whisky, but the Havana Club Cuban Barrel Proof Rum, was the first rums that I know of which used older white oak maturation casks and then younger fresh oak finishing casks.
In the Bottle: 4.5/5
The bottle is packaged in a very attractive beige cardboard box with the bold blue and red Havana Club logo on the front. The box states that the rum is first aged in Extra Old white oak, and then the final blend is finished in special 'selected' finish casks. I have heard of this 'Double Barrel' approach with whisky, but this is first time I have read of the approach used to finish an aged rum. And I believe it is very unusual to choose young oak for the finishing, and older 'used' oak for the initial aging. A quick check of the Havana Club website expands on this information and peaks my interest. The bottle itself is very attractively labelled, but I am disappointed in the screw cap. I prefer nice dense cork toppers.
In the Glass: 9.5/10
The rum has a lighter color than I was expecting and a mild reddish tinge. As I poured the rum into my glencairn glass my nose was immediately swatted with a sweet toffee updraft. Hints of cinnamon spice compliment the aroma, and I am very pleased with the complete lack of any charred or burnt notes. This is intense, sweet and clean. I let the drink sit for just a moment, and a pleasant liquorice aroma reminiscent of Sambuca enters the fray. I even catch just a smidgen of raw oak sitting at the very back of the nose. This is marvellous.
In the Mouth: 58/60
Toffee!! Old style Macintosh toffee. Remember that stuff from 15 years ago in the red cardboard box. You had to smack it on the table to break it. I taste that old style toffee….Yumm! Cinnamon too… just a tad, just enough to give the rum a little heat. This is so good! Deep in the back of the palate there is a little spicy port wine cigar smoke, and finally traces of oak tannin. Over the top of all of these flavours is a sweet rum molasses. This is complex, yet almost perfectly balanced, one of the finest flavour profiles I have ever experienced. It is hard to let the rum sit in my mouth, I just want to feel it slide down my throat.
In the Throat: 14/15
A silky smooth follow through leaves the mouth heated, and the throat coated with a very gentle oil. In the throat I feel a nice little bit of that spicy port cigar. The toffee and cinnamon flavours stay the longest which suits me just fine. The follow through is incredibly smooth for a 45% spirit.
The Afterburn: 9.0/10
Wow, does this ever deliver! It is really hard to find fault in the experience, and the fact that I have not even been tempted to visit another rum since I opened the bottle reveals its spectacular character. The flavours are so intense yet so complimentary to each other that I am truly impressed. If you folks in the USA have no other reason to lift the embargo on Cuba, this elixir is reason enough! (Note that this is not intended as a political statement; it is a Rum Statement!)
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
Suggested Recipes
I would definitely suggest drinking Havana Club Barrel Proof neat or on the rocks. The flavour is just that good. But if you are the sort (like me) who will mix even a top notch rum, then I would think we need to keep it simple to allow the rum to shine.
Cuban Cane Harvest
(A Rum and Coke made for sipping)
1 ice cube
1 ounce Havana Club Barrel Proof Rum
1 ounce Classic Coke
a dash of cinnamon
Pour the rum over the ice cube.
Add the classic coke slowly so that it floats up on top.
Sprinkle just a smidgen of cinnamon on the very top.
Do not stir, let the cinnamon and coke slowly melt into the cocktail.
Sip and Enjoy!
You may (loosely) interpret the scores as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

I have never really been a rum drinker. I usually find it too simplistic and brutal but a friend bought me a bottle of this and oh… I am born again. I now amuse myself forcing it on other cynical and confirmed whisky heads to see their raised eyebrows and hear their grudging concession that here indeed might be worthy companion to the water of life.
I should say tho that – at least in England – quality rum seems to come at a great deal higher price than quality whisky.
July 18, 2012 at 4:10 pm
that is unusual, decent rums usually cost alot less than any decent whisky just to name 2 ED 5 and ocumare añejo

A peculiarity within the Cuban rum production, as much by the system used as of the sort in itself, that even remembering clearly its origin, distance of the habitual thing in the manufacture of rum in the island. She is one authenticates jewel, enough appreciated stranger and less even, mainly by the North Americans, the reasons that all we know; I create sincerely that it is a unit that would be due to taste without a doubt some by all good lover of the rum.

Oh, Yum , yum, I was so impressed with the boquet, whilst pouring 4 bottles of 7 year old Havana Club down the airport drain at the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Sniffing like a bear. Meanwhile the u.s. continues to deal with viet Nam and China, Oh I suppose Ive learned something.

I was actually somewhat shocked by how much I enjoyed this rum, but I think I must attribute it to the somewhat unique flavour profile, at least when compared to most Cuban rums. It has all of the roundness and almost buttery characteristics of the majority of Cuban rums, but it's so much sweeter…no question, a gem
